In states that have statutory pooling, if the mineral owner doesn’t lease, they will get pooled. If they want to throw their money away on a geologist, do so. But that mineral owner will get pooled and the well will get drilled whether the mineral owner leases or doesn’t lease. Your advice on this is dangerous.
